Together, Pheasants Forever and North Dakota Game and Fish are helping landowners to not only conserve habitat, but also increase profitability.

By using EFC Systems’ Profit Zone Manager, Pheasants Forever Precision Ag and Conservation Specialist Melissa Shockman (left), can help identify unprofitable acres, examine grower’s return on investment and explore alternative management scenarios while keeping an eye on the bottom line. Through the use of technology and collaborations, farmers can increase their profitability while also providing benefits for soil health, water quality and wildlife habitat.

PLOTS provides payments to landowners for habitat protection, cost share assistance for developing wildlife habitat, and provides hunting access to hunters of all ages.

The female whitetail was hit and killed by a vehicle on ND Highway 1806 in April this year. The dog apparently found the unborn fawn nearby and brought it home. The landowner contacted the Department and turned over the fetus to our biologists.
